Six plus six means record year for Denmark's Bladt Industries

The Danish manufacturer of wind turbine monopiles is so busy that it cannot take on any more work right now. This has resulted in a record 2016 result, despite the recent announcement of a large-scale round of layoffs at a Danish factory. Bladt will arm itself for the future with welding robots.

A crack was discovered on the Forties Pipeline System in Scotland, while an explosion cost one fatality and injured at least 18 people at a gas plant in Austria. Repairs and concerns about dangerous incidents will only become more common in Europe's oil and gas infrastructure.
